“Experience the Future: Unveiling New Hardware and AI Advancements from Nvidia, Samsung, and More at CES 2024”

CES 2024 is quickly approaching, and it will undoubtedly be a spectacle to behold in Las Vegas. With countless attendees, booths featuring the latest products, and companies boasting about the benefits of AI, this conference is expected to be a game-changer. As our CES preview noted, while the event has had its ups and downs in recent years, it has become a prime opportunity for startups to capture the spotlight amidst the larger budget announcements from industry giants like Samsung, Sony, and Nvidia.

At TechCrunch, we will be covering CES 2024 from the ground, with a special focus on startups that could become headliners in just a few short years. You can follow our team’s coverage on both our site and social media handles. But let’s get straight to the point, because we all know those big-name events still hold a lot of significance.

On Monday, January 8, at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET, technology and transportation enthusiasts will have their hands full with exciting press conferences. Many of these highly-anticipated events will be livestreamed to the public, as has become the norm. These press conferences will set the stage for the public opening of the CES show floor on January 9, which will run through January 12.

As you’ll notice in the list below, AI will be the common thread tying together most of these events. CES 2024 marks the first year of the conference’s full immersion in the new era of AI.

We will update this list as the big day approaches, and as schedules inevitably shift. For now, here are the major players expected to make a big splash before the convention doors open and CES 2024 officially kicks off for in-person attendees on Tuesday.
